Commentary

HT 12 closes with DA-I 50 after OLE+DI 5, *304 5, QA₂+[?]+PU 1, E 30, *118 5, CYP+E 3 and NI 1; on KH 13 DA-I 3 follows *304-CYP ⅓. dayu ‘enough’: Heb. day ‘enough, sufficiency’ (HALOT 219), Aramaic day. Rival: a total; the 50 after DA-I on HT 12 equals the sum of the entries without the fraction (Schoep 2002, 162; Pope 1960, 204).
